until this weekend…

My sister is having her first baby in March! I have been busy washing, ironing, cutting, and sewing a few little goodies for this little man’s baby nursery! After I give them to her this weekend, I’ll come back and post them. Next, I plan to order some sweet fabric to make a Christening gown and two slips to give to our two new Godsons.
On top of the sewing, I’ve been planning and thinking of John’s return next month! can’t wait!!! And what the kids and I should wear to the hanger when we welcome him home! I am thinking I’ll get some red, white, and blue ribbon for the girls’ hair!
Then, two of our children will be receiving sacraments this year. We’ve got Cookie receiving her Confirmation, and Bluebelle preparing for her First Holy Communion. I’ve been thinking of their special days and how I can help make them special. We have a few ideas for them, but would not want to spoil them by posting them yet.
I know the time between “here and someday” is almost here. Not long now, I keep telling myself… and all my sewing better be complete!

Words from Fr Richard’s Homily…
The Measure of a Man's Real Character is what he would do if he were never found out.Litany of Humility
O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me. From the desire of being esteemed, Deliver me, Jesus. From the desire of being loved... From the desire of being extolled ... From the desire of being honored ... From the desire of being praised ... From the desire of being preferred to others... From the desire of being consulted ... From the desire of being approved ... From the fear of being humiliated ... From the fear of being despised... From the fear of suffering rebukes ... From the fear of being calumniated ... From the fear of being forgotten ... From the fear of being ridiculed ... From the fear of being wronged ... From the fear of being suspected ... That others may be loved more than I, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may be esteemed more than I ... That, in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I may decrease ... That others may be chosen and I set aside ... That others may be praised and I unnoticed ... That others may be preferred to me in everything... That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should… Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val (1865-1930), Secretary of State for Pope Saint Pius X-

Such pretty choices! It is sure to be lovely. I particularly like that soft textured looking piece.
Will you be making your Bluebelle’s communion dress? My daughter is making her first communion this spring, and I am planning on making the dress. I’m just in the planning stages now. I am posting my progress on my blog.
Jeannine, Welcome! I’ve been tempted to smock her FHC dress, but I am afraid I wouldn’t get it right.. She’s been trying on the two FHC dresses who have gone before her…
I am really pleased with the quilt and goodies! The chenille is really a nice touch!
Sounds like you have a lot to do on your plate for all the wonderful events coming up. I can’t wait to see all your projects!
Oh, can’t wait to see all your goodies! Love that blue toile fabric in the top pic!
